    Actually no they are called traps for a reason to make them anything other than deadly is a mistake.

    That's the problem people in PVP have become lazy and don't want to actually think and now they want to remove the type of combat that actually makes you think of where you are and what you are doing.

    PVPers talk big they keep saying that they are the best ever and that nothing compares to their combat style until that moment you actually have something that makes them have to think about where they are and what they are doing and what their opponent is doing and then it's a flame war in the forums about what's OP.

    Traps are deadly that's why they call them traps.


    So you are saying my sorcerer daedric mines should hit for 40k damage a piece? I wouldn't mind that.

    ya i agree but the trap shouldnt melt you... i dont mind it actually TRAPPING me... but that isnt the issue its bugged....

    Imagine what this skill would do to bosses

    imagine is right everyone calls it cheezing that does it XD you can instant melt any boss everyone farmed all their gear through exploits well not everyone but there are a handful of people who have done it and are doing it i am not one of them... i have gotten no gear through this exploit...

    I got one shotted in IC for 85K today by this exploit. Why has this not been fixed. People exploiting should be banned. I did report the person.

    People never get banned for exploiting things in game. This has happened with so many different PvP exploits. You are more likely to get banned for opening a thread about it on the forums then you are for ever doing anything in game. The real exploiters are well protected. The few of us that are trying to hold ZOS accountable for fixing something and not letting it languish in the game for months take the most risk.

    Everyone who plays the game is aware of the bug so the ostensible "risk of others trying it" (which is the excuse they use to close threads) is very low.

    Censorship does not reduce exploiters. Hello Streisand effect.

    i agree i took another big risk by opening this thread again they took my last one down.... they dont like people talking about their mistakes and them actually taking this long to fix them.... when they found this out they should have fixed it immediately...

    >>>>>>>>>> Same video I'm quoting, only @ 2:39 into the video

    In April someone made this thread where ZOS said they were actively investigating it:

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/168172/no-word-on-the-3-mundus-stone-exploit


    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert

    Nothing yet on people exploiting that. I know this video was meant to show people exploiting traps, but ALL exploits should be immediately prioritized and addressed.. not still going on many patches and updates later. LOL

    i agree they are doing nothing to these exploiters... its doing nothing to them so the next time they can they will be exploiting again... and these guys not fixing it doesnt make it any better...instead they come out with new stuff that just adds new bugs into the game and adds new problems.... they really need to fix their old problems first before adding anything else big...and actually deal with these exploiters not when i report someone them send me a email saying that I CAN PUT PEOPLE ON MY IGNORE LIST... this solves nothing...nothing at all... get rid of the exploiters plz....

    @Mcnick they did a hot fix for this on Monday and the permanent fix is probably going in right now.

    lets be real, if it does not mean faster xp it wont be fixed at any reasonable rate. Should it get fixed anytime soon then a tiny little piece of faith MIGHT be restored for this company. Granted there are tons of other exploits I would love to see them fix but they wont/cant.

    Well considering players were cheesing the new vet dungeons to get the v16 gear in half the time, you can now see why this was hot fixed asap. As it is now it's fixed, but they had to remove the 12% crit bonus which is the reason the skill was useful in the first place (when not exploiting). The permanent fix will hopefully take care of the re-arming issue without needing to make the skill completely useless like the hotfix did.

    Exploiters are one of the reasons I just don't enjoy PvP in any game. PvP is like catnip for the worst kinds of players. But at least it keeps them out of the PvE areas. As long as I can play in peace in Orsinium, they can go exploit and gank in IC all they want.

    They won't either, because its a game mechanic essentially. Even if they abuse, the Devs still put it in. You can't be punished for using a certain tactic. No matter how crummy a person it makes you. Like Camo Hunter and Caltrops.
